Testimonials

Taus is a very bright young developer who contributes to the team in anyway he can. He brings a very quick study to any challenge presented to him. I can recall several times when Taus implemented features or fixes that traversed every layer of our stack that we have.

Kevin Pierce

Partner & Lead Engineer
Picatic

Some people sparkle and leave existence through good virtue and passion. Taus is no exception, I happen to know him since his 7/8 grade. He has been constantly proving himself as a wonder kid.

Nhm Tanveer Hossain Khan

Former IT Director
Tasawr Interactive (MBSoftware)

Taus is the kind of person that will never stop surprising you. Working with him for the last four months I have seen his breadth of knowledge expand at an amazing rate. He shows a grasp of things beyond most people his age and I'm sure he has a successful future in technology.

Jonathan Friesen

Partner & Front End Developer
Picatic

Taus was specifically involved in building and releasing a number of features that exist in our product today. His goal driven nature pushed these features from conception to launch at a pace required by startups. You can't teach hustle and Taus clearly holds this trait.

Skills

What am I most passionate about?

Back End Dev

I spent almost a decade on back end software development, having worked on several different platforms like PHP, NodeJS, Ruby and Golang in that time. I have several years of experience working with MVC frameworks such as Zend, Laravel, Rails and SailsJS. Recently, I also worked extensively on Golang.

Internet of Things

With my extensive experience in back end development and interest in deep learning, I am comfortable building AI-powered IoT systems (including back end APIs and embedded software). At IBM, my primary job has been to build IoT systems powered by deep learning (like a real-time object detection system using a camera).

Front End Dev

Having spent several years working on the front end, I learned to develop effective and interactive UI/UX for the web. I have worked extensively with AngularJS, Angular 2, React, Bootstrap and jQuery. I'm also comfortable working with Webpack, Bower, Grunt and Gulp.

Mobile App Dev

Most of my mobile app dev experience has been with hybrid applications using Cordova-based tools like Ionic, AppGyver, etc. Other than that, I also worked with both Swift and Java in building native apps and am currently exploring Xamarin and React Native.

Software Testing

Quite a bit of my experience was with Test Driven Development. I worked on unit testing with AngularJS, PHP (PHPUnit), Java (JUnit), Golang (goconvey) and more. I also worked on end-to-end testing with AngularJS (Protractor) and integration testing with Golang (goconvey).
